I know that all windows open when I hold the open button (08 550).

I would rather there be some way to close all windows with one button.

Any way to do that?

Thanks, sixcard
I never checked to see if I could do it with the key fob, but I know with the comfort access feature you can close all of the windows and sunroof by keeping your finger on the door knob.

Holding the lock button does the trick in the UK, but as Rudy says, that's not available in the USA for some reason. Surely there's a way around that?

Hmm interesting,

Our neighbour knocked on our door the weekend before last in the morning to say all the windows were open on our car... Only had it about 4 weeks, again fortunately it hadn't rained (or been stolen!)

That said, my wife believes that she had her hands full and was holding the car keys whilst trying to get through the front door, so at the moment, we think it's most likely that she held the open button on the key without realising.

I would also say that the buttons on the remote are too easily caught. I was round a friends one and they asked why the lights were on inside my car while we were sitting in their lounge chatting, the lights were on because the lock button on the remote was being depressed whilst in my trouser pocket.

We have a leather key fob provided by the dealer on our key rings, and now I always make a point when putting the key in my pocket to ensure the fob is folded over the buttons of the car key as this prevents the buttons being pressed. Ideally I think we could do with a "wallet" of sorts which is exactly the size of the fob to protect the key and the buttons from being depressed... Not sure if there is a dealer accessory that does this.

In the meantime, I will keep a scepticle eye on the windows of the car!
BMW Key fob: look at http://www.bmw-chromteile.de/webshop/catal...7807c395b977370
They also provide key fobs for a regular BMW Key.

Hope to have been of some assistance to you.
